Super Simple Marshmallow Fruit Dip

A few weeks ago, while I was working in Phone Central for the Joy FM Friendraiser, one of the restaurants that supplies our meals brought in a fruit tray with Marshmallow Fruit Dip. My friend Alexa, who is a college senior, was going crazy over the dip. I told her how super simple it was to make and she said, “Don’t tell me now, put it on your blog. I subscribe and get your emails every day so put it there so I can save it.” So, Alexa, this one is for you

I have a long time love for Marshmallow Fluff. Growing up in New England the Fluffernutter was a lunchbox staple. I was excited when I went to Memorial Junior High and started buying my lunch because most days they sold Fluffernutter sandwiches for less than the hot meals cost and I would pocket the difference!

If you’ve been around here a while you may remember my Fluffernutter Brownie Crunch Bars, I really need to make these again soon! Remember for all recipes that call for Marshmallow Fluff, DO NOT substitute marshmallow creme it is not the same thing.

Fluffernutter Brownie Crunch Bars

I was born and raised in New England, the home of the Fluffernutter sandwich. Skippy Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff on white bread were a staple growing up. When we moved to Florida in 1980 there was no Marshmallow Fluff on the shelves at Publix. We tried the marshmallow cream that was available and it just wasn’t good enough. We resorted to having friends and relatives bring us the good stuff when they came to visit. Actually, back then we had 5 products that we imported regularly to Florida! Thankfully, over the last 30 years 4 of those products are now available in Florida and just 2 years ago I found a suitable replacement for the 5th one.

A few weeks ago our friend, Avery, was celebrating a birthday. To me, that meant it was time to bake him a treat. I had seen several similar recipes floating around Facebook so I decided to create my own and bring it to Avery at work for Sharathon at KWND.

These Fluffernutter Brownie Crunch Bars were a huge hit! Avery loved them, so did everyone working in Phone Central. Since we had a small staff that week, we were able to nibble on the bars for 4 days. Everyone asked for the recipe and I told them it would be on the blog in a few weeks.

S’mores Cupcakes

Back in August my friend Shellie aka @Military_Mom on Twitter, posted the recipe for S’mores Cupcakes on her blog Blog4Mom. I have wanted to make these since the day she posted them but I haven’t had the occasion to, until today. Tonight we have a party to go to at church and we were asked to bring a dessert. So…since I often use my church family as my recipe guinea pigs, I thought “Why not!”

Ron took the boys to Tampa for the Motor Trend International Car Show and I started baking. I love to bake. I don’t bake that often because I have a VERY small galley kitchen with hardly any counter space. I can get claustrophobic even when I am alone in the kitchen!

The cupcakes look ok and taste delicious. I thought I’d share a few tidbits I learned while making these today.

Check out all of your supplies before you start. I am sure I own at least 2 cupcake pans but I could only locate 1 so I had to bake 2 separate batches.
My 18 yr old Black & Decker Hand Mixer was no match for 16oz of Marshmallow Fluff. The motor in my mixer burned up! Maybe now I can get the stand mixer I have been wanting-but have no place to store.
An extra pair of hands would come in handy while trying to get the marshmallow topping into the pastry bag.
Don’t fill the pastry bag too full. The marshmallow topping easily escapes from the top and oozes all over you.
You do reach a point where being covered in marshmallow no longer bothers you. You can just clean it all up later
Thankfully, I was home alone or their would be multiple photographs of me covered in marshmallow.

I had a lot of fun today and hopefully, the cupcakes will be a huge hit tonight. Have you tried this recipe? What did you think? Any input on what kind of mixer I should get to replace the one that dies today? Christmas baking season is right around the corner so I need to find something soon.
